Real Madrid s Expectation and Dream for the King s Cup;
The King's Cup is the only task before us, and our devotion, passion and fighting spirit are unique. Our attitude towards every game is the attitude of any professional player.
What is Real Madrid's attitude towards the Sarah incident?
We are all very sad. We wish to express our condolences to his family and friends. We hope you won't give up hope until the last moment.
Why Marcelo can't play:
No matter in training or competition, Marcelo's love and loyalty to the club is beyond doubt, but as a coach, I also need to arrange starters and substitutes, which is also a very difficult part of my work. We need to choose the most suitable player for each game.
Now Reguilon is the main force at left-back?
Every game is a brand-new opportunity.
Have you talked to Marcelo about his replacement?
I am still the same sentence: these things are our internal private affairs, and everything stays between us. If I need to talk to him, then I will say it naturally, that's all. After that, internal and external competition is a part of football. Every player needs to fight for the opportunity to play, and anyone may lose the starting position, which also makes our internal competition atmosphere healthy and real.
What do you think of Suarez's controversial goal against Leganés? And how to see the solving ability of VAR technology?
On the issue of VAR, I have also expressed my views before. Everyone warmly welcomed the arrival of VAR before, but now it has brought us a little doubt. We hope that VAR technology can be applied and well applied. The less you talk, the better, which shows that VAR is used well.
This year is the first year that VAR has been put into use. We hope this technology will get better and better. Whether it is fans, players or referees, everyone can be less controversial about this technology. I hope this technology is more clear and easy to understand for everyone. We are full of expectations for VAR, and now there are many misunderstandings and confusions. I hope VAR technology is getting better and better.
What do you think of Gerona?
I think Gerona has many characteristics and tactics. They have played well this season, defended well and set-pieces are excellent, but we still need to focus on ourselves, just like we played in Seville. We did well in the last game and need to bring this state to the King's Cup.
Can Mariano play?
Mariano will return soon, and so will asensio, Bell, Keller-navas and Cross. Every player is very important and we are very happy with this progress.
How to mobilize the team's motivation in the face of a game like the King's Cup?
I don't think it's necessary to transfer the team, because our players are very involved now and are very focused on any game. I don't think there is any difference between the League, the King's Cup or the Champions League. Of course, the Champions League theme song is wonderful.
Why didn't Benzema have an operation?
This question should be recognized by doctors. Our players also need to do their part. Sometimes players get head injuries, so it's best to wrap them up at the end, for example, before modric. We need to see Benzema full of fighting spirit and motivation. He wants to keep the current state, but also needs to see the opinions of the medical department.
What do you think of this team? Do the wounded need to fight for the starting position from scratch after returning, or do some veterans start by themselves?
I think the word concept is a bit too big. This question is very simple, because there are many young people in our team, and every player is very mature. The role of veterans is to help these young people grow up, and young players also need the experience and guidance of veterans. This kind of competition is very healthy, and for such a team, my job is to choose the best team and win the game.
